Modern fitness yoga is mainly based on postural exercise.
At the same time, it cooperates with breathing in the process of postural exercise to experience the feeling of the body.
When you are proficient, you can also use the bandwagon method in the process of posture practice for energy improvement.
The combination of these technologies is more than enough for ordinary fitness.
The practice of yoga asana is different from that of physical fitness.
It is a practice method that stresses stretching, twisting, squeezing and massaging various parts of the body with the weight of the body under the static state of maintenance, with deep and long breathing.
Static maintenance is a major feature of yoga posture practice, and even some yogis believe that maintenance is Asana (yoga posture).
The characteristics of yoga postures are as follows: First, yoga postures are non-competitive exercises; 2、 Yoga posture is to practice by using one’s own weight in static state; 3、 Yoga postures require deep breathing; 4、 Yoga postures require relaxation while maintaining; 5、 Yoga postures require feeling the tense parts of the body; 6、 The core of yoga posture exercise is the spine.
Next, we will analyze the methods of practicing yoga postures from several angles in order to guide our correct practice.
The first section of Control Yoga Sutra says that the transformation of control consciousness is yoga.
The process of yoga asana practice is under the control of the practitioner.
However, in the actual practice process, the practitioners are always eager to put their actions in a specific position and wait for the coach’s command.
People who read books and practice by themselves are more likely to pursue the result of posture.
It seems that there is no problem with the practice method of the omitting process.
In fact, perhaps the connotation of yoga practice is also being omitted by us in this unconscious omitting process.
Inertia practice is one of the problems that yoga practitioners often encounter.
With the help of inertia, the trainees can complete many difficult actions, and they have a sense of achievement in their hearts.
Therefore, even if the coach emphasizes that he should control his body during practice, he will often turn a deaf ear and go his own way.
In fact, this control is the core content of yoga postural exercise: the feeling of the body often affects people’s consciousness, and controlling the body can indirectly achieve the function of controlling consciousness.
The second section is in place, which is a professional term often used by yoga coaches in the teaching process.
The so-called “in place” is actually to excavate the details of the body position exercise as much as possible in the exercise, improve the exercise efficiency of the body position, so as to exercise the part more effectively.
For example, triangular stretching is one of the few scoliosis movements in yoga postures.
The proper way to practice is around this scoliosis – how to make scoliosis practice most efficient.
In the process of practice, some practitioners saw that other practitioners were bending a lot, and the potential consciousness of competition made the body sink continuously.
As a result, the fingers could touch the ground.
The practitioners were complacent and had a sense of achievement.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the trainer inadvertently pushed the hips back when pursuing the range of side bending.
Although the front view is very powerful, the side view shows that the body is not in a plane.
Since the body is not in a plane, the weight of the upper body borne by the spine also changes due to the shift of the center of gravity and moves to the hip area…
So, the original significance of exercising the spine is lost.
From the point of view of exercising the spine, this kind of exercise is not in place! The correct way to reach the position is that the trainer will gradually put the body in a plane by adducing the hips.
Although the position of the body is raised because of the adduction of the hips and the flattening of the body, there is no sense of achievement of the fingers touching the ground, but for the body, this is the most beneficial exercise.
Therefore, yoga postures should not only pursue form, but should make clear the positions of relevant postures before performing postures, and strive to improve efficiency.
However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the method when the body position is in place.
For example, double leg back forward stretch, which is a sitting posture with forward bending of the spine.
Usually, when doing this action, the trainer always leans forward with great force to expect to be close to his legs.
For the beginners with tight ligaments and not very flexible spine, this kind of practice method will be counterproductive, and the practice for a long time can not achieve their goals.
It is even possible to pull ligaments and make our originally bent spine more arched…
Recall that in our daily life, when we want to drive a truck, we often drive backwards and then forward.
Physics tells us that the friction in operation is less than the maximum static friction at rest.
It is easier to turn the car from static to motion, from maximum static friction to friction, and then pull forward.
In the same way, if it is easier to lean forward, we can also lean forward to overcome the “maximum static friction” of the spine and ligaments, and then lean forward to make it easier.
In addition, when it comes to the right place, many friends may think that it is necessary to achieve the level of the coach’s demonstration, which is also incorrect.
In yoga, “in place” refers to using the weight of the body to reach the limits of the body after being placed in the right way.
Knowing the significance of yoga position, there is no need to compare with others in the actual practice process.
Today I can bend forward 20 degrees, and in two days I can bend forward 21 degrees, which is progress.
This kind of progress is more meaningful than those who easily stick to the legs – because you have reached the limits of your body, but they have not.
Many friends who have been practicing yoga for a long time have slowly opened their spine, ligaments and joints.
These friends can no longer feel challenging to do some postures, so they often ask the coach to teach difficult movements, or find some yoga books written by Indians, Europeans and Americans themselves to find difficult movements.
This understanding has deviated from the purpose of yoga practice.
